If the CAGW hypothesis were true (which I do not accept) then the poorest people of the world (in Africa, Afghanistan, North Korea etc.) would suffer the most. The death toll in poor countries for earthquakes is massively higher in Iran or Pakistan, than in say California or Japan. What the alarmists do not allow for is that the best solution for the poorest might be to promote economic growth. Future generations might be a little worse off due to extreme weather, but a lot better off through living much longer and enjoying living standards many times higher than that of previous generations. Having escaped a subsistence existence, local crop failures will mean just a slightly higher price of some produce, not malnutrition and starvation.
